Outside, her spacious sundeck has a large, adjustable canopy to offer shade during a long, lazy lunch. With traditional hardwood deckchairs that provides incredible views and for the more adventurous, there are bicycles available so you can venture along the towpath to the next lock or two.

Other Amenities
Aside from the comforts of the barge, Athos has a large sundeck with an adjustable canopy to use at guest's discretion. Deckchairs are also available to relax and bicycles to enjoy along the towpath to the next lock.
Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!

Angie was AMAZING in helping us plan our two week, multi-generational trip (for 12 people) to Japan. She really listened to what we wanted and helped plan every detail. One of the best travel specialists I've worked with. Thank you Angie!
